Three more Android devices now support BBC iPlayer app's offline viewing

Only 11 devices supported BBC iPlayer's offline viewing feature when it arrived on Android, but now three more have passed the network's thorough testing process. Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 mini
are joining that initial list, thanks to the app's latest update on
Google Play. The feature lets you download shows and save episodes for
up to 30 days on your phone or tablet, although that timespan shortens
to 7 days after the first time you press play. If your gadget still
isn't included in that slightly longer roster -- a shame if you've been
wanting to watch that particular EastEnders episode -- don't
worry. BBC says the app will be able to add offline viewing support to
more devices in the future without the need for another update.
